In San Francisco, autonomous crime-fighting robots that are used to patrol parking lots, sports arenas, and tech company campuses are now being deployed to keep away homeless people.

The San Francisco Business Times reported last week that the San Francisco SPCA, an animal advocacy and pet adoption group, put a security robot to work outside its facilities in the gentrifying Mission neighborhood. The robot's presence is meant to deter homeless people from setting up camps along the sidewalks.

you know they fucking are. They're going to couch it in terms of "we need to be more accepting of the diverse cultural experiences of evangelical christians" or some shit like that, but they're not going to take a stand here when they realize that taking a stand wasn't actually enough to win the votes.

Good game raven. I was trying to read some flavor, and I think I hit upon the dual role thingy finally, although that was the only flavor hint really.

I think everyone should treat me as a contrarian; whatever I feel, people should do the opposite. Although lynching testy day 3 was more to save my butt than any type of scum read.

diva/nostrum/Y.B. - you guys hid well, although I thought I sensed some coaching of Y.B. on Day 2. Another case of town eating itself I guess. You've got to be really disciplined and a bit more open/trustworthy to put a town group together and maybe not lynch anyone without some clear reads.
